A senator has asked an EU anti-fraud watchdog to investigate whether the State is failing to inspect ‘high-risk flights’ into Shannon Airport.

THE SOCIAL Democrats have appointed what the party describe as a “strong voice” on issues of foreign affairs and trade.

The proposal is contained in the party’s ‘Positive Neutrality’ policy document, which was launched by foreign affairs spokesperson Gary Gannon, and Patricia Stephenson, the Social Democrats general election candidate in Carlow-Kilkenny

Patricia will hold a Carlow launch of her campaign tonight, 15 October at 7pm in the Neighbourhood Espresso, Barrack Street
